Rush hour traffic -- Thank you, God, that I have a job to go to and a car to get myself there and back.

Extra weight -- Thank you, God, that I am not one of those many who go hungry.

Insomnia -- Thank you, God, for the quiet spaces that I find, even when they are at 4am.

Long lines at the grocery store -- Thank you, God, for the blessing of being able to feed my family.

Road construction -- Thank you, God, for paved roads instead of rocky, rutty paths and for jobs for all those people who work on them.

Notes from the teacher -- I long ago discovered that an e-mail from the teacher with just your child's name in the subject line is almost never good news. But thank you, God, my children have teachers who care about their success.

Mountains of laundry -- Thank you, God, that we have clothes to wear and a washer/dryer at home.

That time of the month -- Thank you, God, for the amazing workings of my body.

Bills -- Thank you God, for electricity and heat, wireless internet and modern medicine.

I love this. I did something similar a couple of years ago. I might have to reposts, or at least link to it. I had to laugh at your "time of the month." I'm thankful to have had it, that it suerved it's purpose. But, I'm done with it, where is the off switch?
